| Bought this 26.8 mm diameter seat post (the most common size is 27.2 mm, which I have a couple of but the Teledyne uses 26.8 mm). |
 |
| The seat post is too long. The frame is too big for me so the seat post only needs to stick out a couple of inches from the seat tube. With about 4 inches of overlap needed, about six inches from the bottom of this post can be cut off. I used a metal cutting chop saw to shorten in. |
 |
| The seat post does not slide down the seat tube smoothly. It's quite a tight fit and wants to bind. I'll have to take a little bit off the outside of the seat post so that it's not so tight. |
 |
| Cut off about five inches from the bottom. |
 |
| The seat post has fairly large machining ridges on it. If I sand down the ridges, it should be just the right size for the seat tube. |
